    I'm sure plenty of people are more than capable of cycling from Brighton to Haywards Heath but good to give people a heads up, eh?

  • unfortunately i'm not able to make it now due to work :(

    Fiddy would have ridden all the way back to London.

  • looking to ride back to purley via white hill lane (whyteleafe), then train back into town.. gears only though

    Thanks for the heads up, I know that one time, southern provided a bus just for cyclists. There is no reason why the shouldn't so this might be a possibility.

  • Fiddy would have ridden all the way back to London.

    Fiddy did ride all the way back after several roll ups and more than a couple of drinks

  • Looks great!

  • I'm going to be geared also, unless it rains, then I'll be fixed. My road bike has more holes than swiss cheese and doesn't like getting moist.

    (still one of the greatest spoke cards ever...)

    Can someone post the image of the spoke card so I can print them out and sort out an Auckland fiddy ride (there are a few of us here who knew him well). Ta.

  • PM me your email address gaffer and I'll ping the eps file over to ya

  • I hear a rumour that his isn't happening because of the trains. Really?

    I'm unlikely to be able to make it, and haven't heard any rumours, but two thoughts spring to mind:

    (1) It wouldn't be a proper Fiddy ride without some sort of cock-up, and

    (2) as I said above, he wouldn't have cared much about the availability of trains, anyway.

  • Less than a week away, this is still happening regardless of trains, hope to see as many people there as possible!

    Keep adding to the list.

  • That's what I wanted to hear...
